Astrolabe Tourbillon

Louis Moinet invites us to look up and explore the sky. Manufactured in a limited series of 12 pieces, its latest creation is inspired by one of mankind's oldest but least-known astronomical instruments, the astrolabe. Of all the astrolabes, that of Ahmad Ibn al-Sarraj (d. 1329 CE) was certainly the most sophisticated. In homage to its origins, this tourbillon watch comes in a wooden box with a meteorite fragment from the moon, as well as a faithful reproduction of Ahmad Ibn al-Sarraj's astrolabe, made by Martin Brunold, probably the last craftsman in the world still making this intriguing instrument
